Lychee ham with goma sauce

This is a quick and easy fix, perfect as a starter or serve in a party. The best part is you can store these two simple ingredients inside your kitchen and whip it up whenever you have guests or need a quick snack. How should I describe the taste? How about ... with every bite, the fruity lychee juice will ooze out creating a refreshing sensation? Or a taste of sophistication from the combination of lychee sweetness + salty ham + fragance of the sesame from goma sauce? The combination goes well, hope you will like it too. Here's the recipe.


Ingredients
2 pieces of ham
8 lychee
Goma sauce (aka sesame sauce, I am using Mizkan brand)
Roasted sesame seeds
Toothpicks

Methods
1) Cut each slice of ham into 4 strips and wrap a lychee with each strip, secure with a toothpick. For the lychee I rinse with water before use to get rid of the can smell.
2) Heat pan with a little oil and pan fry the skewers till both sides are slightly brown.
3) Serve with Japanese goma sauce and sprinkle roasted sesame seeds.

Note
Here's an image of how the goma sauce bottle looks like, it goes very well with salad and cold dishes too. http://www.soshiok.com/article/2786

Easy peasy dish! Bon Appetit!!!
